More details from petition creator

In the news, we hear all about taxing big engine cars, airline fuel taxes and reducing your carbon footprint on this planet. It's all great but there's a big piece of the jigsaw missing.

The gas Methane is ten (10) times more harmful than Co2 in it's effect in causing global warming.

Cattle produce a massive amount of methane each day. Coupled with a population all increasing their meat intake, how come this issue isn't being addressed as it should be.

Imagine 1.3 billion cattle each burping methane several times a minute, it doesn't require much more thinking to envisage the effect of that on our environment.

The Food & Agricultural Organisation of the United Nations have mentioned this but nothing had made it's way into mainstream media or the public.

This is a major contributor to global warming and it seems the government and the media are turning a blind eye to it. Why?
